- Hi,
-
- I'm interested in what folks are doing with our ( and others )
- multi-processor boxes ( and vector ones for that matter ). This is
- only for personal interest, since I only have a limited knowledge of
- a few types of problems. Just for the record, I'm not in marketing ;-),
- and this information is for my little brain only.
-
- The sorts of things I guess I'm looking for are :
-
- What kind of problems are you solving?
-
- What kind of machines are you solving them on?
-
- Did you use any software tools to help with the parallelization?
-
- Are you using seperate processes communicating with a shared
- memory ( SysV or Irix arenas ) or sproc'ed type threads?
-
- Which books or classes did you use to learn what you know about
- parallel programming and multi-processing?
-
- To cut down on net traffic, please e-mail me <shreiner@sgi.com>. If there's
- interest in what I find out, I'll be happy to post a summary.
-
- Thanx,
- Dave
